Communicating critical concerns

We have an open reporting environment and expect employees to raise any ethics- or compliance-related questions or concerns. We offer several reporting channels for employees to use, such as an anonymous Global Ethics Hotline that is available 24 hours every day. The phone numbers are also available on our internal and external Ethics websites so that anyone, including customers and suppliers, can report potential ethics violations by PPG employees and seek advice and assistance.

Employees are also offered other avenues to communicate their concerns or questions by contacting our “Ask the Experts” online resource, their supervisor, Human Resources representative and Chief Compliance Officer. All of these reporting channels are posted on the Ethics intranet.

Stakeholders and other interested parties may send communications to the Board, the independent directors (individually or as a group) or the Lead Director in writing by sending them in care of our corporate secretary at PPG, Inc., One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15272.

Remuneration policies

PPG’s Directors receive an annual retainer, half of which is paid in cash on a quarterly basis and half of which is paid on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders in restricted stock units that vest on the day prior to the subsequent annual meeting of shareholders.

Annual incentive compensation of the company’s executives and senior managers is partially (30 percent) based on personal goals that tie to overall corporate business goals, with the remainder based on company and business financial performance. PPG does not require that its executives have personal goals linked to social or environmental performance, although some executives, by virtue of their responsibilities, may have goals related to those issues.

Types of injury and rates of injury, occupational diseases, lost days, absenteeism and number of work-related fatalities

Health and Safety
Data on absenteeism and by gender, as well as some contractor data, are not provided. There is no centralized repository for this information, and we do not anticipate creating one in the near future.
